Re: EDC and netcdf-java libraries

Hi Roy:

The normal use of scale/offset works fine.

The known bug in 2.2 is not correctly enhancing members of structures.

Rich reported a bug probably related to aggregation, but im not sure of the
scope of it. In 4.0, I  did a more careful job on getting enhancement correct,
so im not surprised its now fixed.

I expect 4.0 to be reasonably stable within the month.
